Suzhou Walter Electronic Co., Ltd. (Walter) Brand Introduction

I. Brand Background and Development History

Suzhou Walter Electronic Co., Ltd. was established on May 24, 2000, with a registered capital of RMB 30.369 million, located at No. 99 Xinli Road, Fenhu Development Zone, Wujiang District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JW Group and its legal representative is Yan Ruizhi.

The Walter brand traces its origins back to 1968 when it was founded in Taiwan. In 2000, the brand established its manufacturing base in Suzhou, leveraging the industrial ecosystem of the Yangtze River Delta region to serve both domestic and international markets. In 2006, Walter received technical support from a major Japanese manufacturer for current sensing resistor products, marking the beginning of its resistor component business and earning certification from renowned industry players. Subsequently, the company launched SMD fuses, Wire-in-Air high-performance SMD fuses, and power fuses.

Under the JW Group, Walter has expanded globally through strategic acquisitions, including the merger with U.S.-based TFT (Thin Film Technology) and the integration of Japanese premium brands YED and Flat, establishing a tri-regional presence across China, the United States, and Japan. In 2015, Walter launched its power fuse product line, targeting solar systems, industrial power supplies, communication power supplies, UPS, power batteries, electric vehicles, and instrumentation markets. In 2022, the company expanded its power fuse production line. To date, Walter holds 81 patents, including core technologies such as "fully automatic inspection, marking, and taping machine for square plastic fuses" and "high I²t, high breaking capacity SMD time-delay fuses".

Suzhou Walter Electronic Co., Ltd. operates a 28,000m² facility with a monthly production capacity exceeding 200 million pieces. In 2024, the company achieved revenue of RMB 296 million with 329 employees and holds National High-Tech Enterprise status.
